Well, we were the sponsor, meaning we had to bring food and we were introduced and given the floor before they even started all the other stuff, then of course had the additional 60 second thing, blah blah blah. For someone that hates it, it sure felt like public speaking!

I don't like it though because I actually try to have something interesting to say, so I put in a lot of prep time.

I was thinking...how can a lawyer be afraid to speak in public then I remembered that you aren't her. You are the shy wall flower local poster. Sorry !

When I speak in front of peers? Usually okay. When I speak in front of my instructors like when I'm being examined? Definitely more nervous but once I get started, I'm okay. Same goes for large crowds like speaking at a wedding. The anticipation is much worse than the actual act of public speaking.

It could also have to do with the fact that I had to take six courses in all forms of communication in high school, and then an additional public speaking course in college.

Preperation, notes and confidence. I'm an attention whore so I love the fact that I have a group of people listening to me! heh

I actually FORCE myself into situations where i HAVE to take the lead role if presenting with peers. Luckily my colleagues do not know how much I HATE it (I don't want them to know of any of my fears or doubts... gotta maintain my level of perfectionism and professionalism). I don't know if this is 100% but I have remember hearing that more people are afraid of public speaking than those afraid of dying.
